Contraindications to Exercise

Contraindications to Exercise

 

Neeraj Mehta

      Younger (5-12 years)

      Training at too high level of intensity and for long duration [greater than 30 minutes].

     Training in hotter and more humid environments as thermo regulatory mechanisms in the child’s body are not fully developed.

     Sports injuries to the long bones (epiphyseal plates), low back (L4,5), and muscle injuries are problematic in this group.

     Children have a lower tolerance to the demands of exercise.  Strength training routines should reflect teaching of basic lifting techniques and not lifting-heavy weights.  Beginners should be made to understand the basics of exercise, such as heart rate monitoring, proper body alignment, benefits of warm-up, etc.  Perhaps the instructor should devote half of their program experience to education and demonstration.
